With unique contract structures, Rockets working to mitigate 2027-28 financial crunch
As details for the new Dorian Finney-Smith and Jabari Smith Jr. contracts come in, it's clear the Rockets have 2027-28 payroll considerations in mind. As they navigate various luxury-tax and apron thresholds under the NBA's latest Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Houston Rockets are bracing for an expensive payroll in the 2027-28 season. That future season is particularly tricky for the Rockets, since it's likely to be the first year of a maximum-salaried contract extension for Amen Thompson and the final season of a seemingly inevitable two-year extension for Kevin Durant. So, led by general manager Rafael Stone and assistant general manager Eli Witus, Houston is already making preparations — and that's increasingly evident based on the contract structures of the team's recent deals in the 2025 offseason. HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported Monday that both of the final two seasons of Dorian Finney-Smith's four-year contract with the Rockets are non-guaranteed, starting with the aforementioned 2027-28 season. And the five-year extension for Jabari Smith Jr., per Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, contains an even more curious structure to prioritize 2027-28 flexibility. Vorkunov writes: That five-year rookie extension they gave Smith is a rollercoaster deal (my patent pending). It starts at $23.64 million in the first year, then dips to $21.75 million in year two before escalating back up to $23.64 million in year 3 and continuing on the upswing to $27.43 million in the final year. That comes after the Rockets signed Dorian Finney-Smith to what HoopsHype reported is a four-year deal with only the first two years fully guaranteed. The dip in Smith's second season, 2027-28, should help the Rockets because it will be the second season of Kevin Durant's potential new contract and the first year of Amen Thompson's rookie extension. Every dollar will count for Houston that season as they likely navigate an apron of some sort, let alone the luxury-tax implications. But the Rockets have a smart front office and thought ahead. As for the 2028 offseason and beyond, Durant turns 39 years old that September. So, the odds would suggest that he's likely to either retire or be on a downward career trajectory by that time, which would lead to the future Hall of Famer either coming off Houston's salary books entirely or playing at a much-reduced rate. In turn, that would alleviate much of the financial pressure on the total payroll, which explains why the 2028-29 season is when Smith's deal starts to go back up. And if Durant somehow defies the usual aging curve and is still producing at an All-Star level at 39 years old, that's a good problem to have — and one the Rockets are happy to worry about in 2028, should it occur. For now, they're doing their financial planning based on more realistic scenarios. More: Shams: Rockets, Kevin Durant plan to end his NBA career in Houston

Sources: Suns, Bradley Beal negotiating contract buyout; Clippers, Lakers among suitors
The post Sources: Suns, Bradley Beal negotiating contract buyout; Clippers, Lakers among suitors appeared first on ClutchPoints. A new era is about to begin for the Phoenix Suns. After trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a historic seven-team trade that was finalized on Sunday afternoon, the Suns and three-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal are expected to finalize a buyout agreement, league sources told ClutchPoints. Advertisement Talks of Beal and the Suns discussing a buyout intensified on Sunday afternoon, as the two parties began to formulate the structure of this agreement. These negotiations continued into the evening, at which point it became clear that while Beal would like to remain in Phoenix, the team no longer wants him on the roster, sources said. As a result, a formal, official announcement is expected to come on Monday. However, there are still some details that need to be finalized, including the exact amount of the proposed buyout agreement. It is expected that Beal will give back around $14 million, the minimum amount Phoenix would need to waive-and-stretch his contract over the next several seasons and remain in line with the league's 15 percent rule about dead cap hits. Advertisement One of the key rules outlined in the new CBA agreement regarding buyouts and dead money on a team's books states that the amount of money stretched on a team's books can't exceed 15 percent of the salary cap in the year that the player was waived. Since the Suns previously waived Nassir Little and EJ Liddell, two players who are incurring dead cap hits for the 2025-26 season, Phoenix can't exceed roughly $23.2 million in stretched money. Little and Liddell equate to $3.8 million, meaning Beal's dead hit can't exceed $19.4 million. By giving up just about $14 million of his remaining $110.8 million through the 2026-27 season, that takes the former star's overall number down to $96.8 million, which can be stretched to about $19.3 million for the next five seasons. This is one of the details of the buyout negotiations still being discussed. Advertisement If the number does come out to about $14 million that he gives back, Phoenix would be able to move below the first and second aprons, and Beal would become an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to choose his next home and still qualify to make up that $14 million he gave up with a new franchise's mid-level exception, sources said. Beal, 32, joined the Suns in 2023 in a massive offseason trade. When owner Mat Ishbia took over, he was aggressive in his pursuit of Durant and Beal, as he sent four first-round pick swaps, six second-round picks, Chris Paul, and Landry Shamet to the Washington Wizards for the former All-NBA guard. In two seasons with the Suns, Beal averaged 17.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 40.7 percent from 3-point range. He played in 106 of 164 total games with the Suns, who went 85-79 over the last two seasons, failing to make the playoffs during the 2024-25 season. Next steps in Bradley Beal buyout talks and potential suitors Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images One of the main reasons why the Suns want to finalize a buyout with Beal is to create financial flexibility for themselves. Ishbia and new general manager Brian Gregory have been working hard to move pieces around and find ways to escape the tax penalties for the 2025-26 season after agreeing to trade Durant to the Rockets. Advertisement Buying Beal out of his contract and stretching the amount he is owed over the next five seasons doesn't sound pretty, but it immediately opens cap flexibility for the Suns to aggregate salaries and retain the ability to move their future draft picks at their choosing. More importantly, it undoes a failed experiment with three superstar talents in Phoenix that did not live up to its championship expectations. Assuming buyout negotiations continue with no interruption and are ultimately finalized, Beal will become an unrestricted free agent and eligible to sign with any of the other 29 teams in the league upon clearing waivers. Multiple teams around the league have already been anticipating the three-time All-Star hitting free agency, and Beal has been actively exploring what his options are, according to Marc Stein. The Miami Heat have long held interest in Beal dating back to before he became a member of the Suns, sources told ClutchPoints. While the Heat were expected to be at the front of the line to sign him pending a buyout, that no longer appears to be the case after trading for Norman Powell. Advertisement Despite still having access to their $14.1 million mid-level exception, the Heat have hard-capped themselves at the first apron in their three-team trade with the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers involving Powell and John Collins. That means the Heat can't offer Beal more than about $3.9 million, which leads to speculation about other teams being in on Beal. Other teams that are expected to pursue Beal include the Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and Milwaukee Bucks. The Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets have been mentioned as potential suitors for Beal on the open market, yet ClutchPoints was unable to confirm potential interest from these two organizations. The Clippers have put themselves at the forefront of talks surrounding Beal once he is bought out of his deal with the Suns, as trading Powell; has opened up a clear need for the star guard. Beal joining the Clippers has suddenly become the widespread belief around the NBA. Beal will instantly be the most notable free agent on the open market right before the start of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas once he finalizes a buyout agreement with the Suns. It should not take long for him to find his next team. Related: Bill Simmons hits Suns with absolute bleakest situation Related: Suns drop perfect 5-word welcome message for Jalen Green

Orlando Magic express 'belief' in Paolo Banchero with $239M extension
July 8 (UPI) -- The Orlando Magic said their recent decision to agree to a five-year, $239 million contract with All-Star forward Paolo Banchero reflected their "belief" in his talent and "desire to win at the highest level." LIFT Sports Management announced that Banchero and the Magic agreed to the maximum rookie contract extension on Monday. The pact can reach up to $287 million in total value. "As the franchise unveils a new era with a reimagined identity, locking in its cornerstone was never in question," LIFT Sports Management said in a statement. "Banchero's rise from top pick to All-Star centerpiece has redefined the trajectory in Orlando. "The look may be new, but the future still runs through Paolo." Banchero, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, averaged a career-high 25.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game over 46 starts last season. He missed 34 games during the first-half of the 2024-25 campaign due to an oblique injury. The 2022-23 Rookie of the Year and 2023-24 All-Star averaged 22.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game through the first three years of his NBA tenure. "We are thrilled to keep Paolo in a Magic uniform for years to come," Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said. "At just 22, he has won NBA Rookie of the Year, been named an NBA All-Star and is widely regarded as one of our league's brightest young stars. This commitment reflects our belief in Paolo's talent, character and desire to win at the highest level. "It also reflects Paolo's belief in our organization, our fans and the city of Orlando. We are excited to continue this journey together." The Magic will take on the Sacramento Kings in Summer League play at 7:30 p.m. EDT Thursday in Las Vegas.
